The expansion project was designed New York architect Hugh Hardy of H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture, who worked closely with theater consultant Auerbach Pollock Friedlander to create the academy\u2019s first fully-flexible, fully-adaptable performance space since 1987.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 40,000-square-foot building offers a 250-seat experimental theater that housed over 170 artistic performances and events and provided 1,600 square feet of rehearsal space for 33 community organizations in its first 10 months of full operation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2013\/08\/Brooklyn-Academy-of-Music-Richard-Fisher-Building-rooftop-garden.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-160862\" title=\"Brooklyn Academy of Music Richard Fisher Building - rooftop garden\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2013\/08\/Brooklyn-Academy-of-Music-Richard-Fisher-Building-rooftop-garden.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a>BAM Fisher\u2019s eco-friendly features include a reduction in water consumption by more than 40% and an energy efficiency system that reduces the greenhouse gas emissions by 22%. The green rooftop, which was designed by Starr Whitehouse Architects and Planners, features native plants to reduce the need for watering and opaque glass paver lights to create an intimate atmosphere at night. The 1,400-square-foot rooftop is used as an outdoor venue for community gatherings and special events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Renderings courtesy of  H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture and Starr Whitehouse Architects and Planners<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Green Building Council (USGBC) marked another milestone last week when it awarded the LEED Gold Certification for New Construction to the newest addition of the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":258,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1600,21742],"tags":[1815],"class_list":["post-1004081977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-york","category-latest","tag-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
